"family" photos

Mike. He hides behind a quiet country boy exterior. Inside he is a pot-stirrer;

he likes to start trouble, then sit back and try to look innocent while it boils up.

When you can understand what he's saying it even works for a minute or two. 

I wish I had a camera on me at all times. I wish I could post the pictures in my head, especially of my boys at work sometimes. They are hilarious. I wish I could explain it better. It's like how you and your siblings play around when it is just y'all at home. You are around each other so long that (for better or worse) it is a whole new level of comfortable. Guess that is one of the reasons why we call our co-workers in the firehouse "family".

Today Mike was on top of the Engine getting something down for a drill while the rest of us were on the ground talking about how to execute it. I don't know who noticed it first, but all of the sudden Mike started posing! Standing on top of the Engine, twelve feet in the air, in the middle of the park, sun shining on all of his glory, Mike is holding poses for us to notice! And when we all do focus our attention on Hans Jr, he does not stop! He keeps on going and even takes pose suggestions. Thankfully Joe's tricked out phone has a good camera and he was able to capture these images.
